Companies that use Stripe (27049)

We dug into our own data to find major companies using Stripe in production. Here are real-world examples of how they use it.

Amazon

Technology & E-Commerce — Seattle, Washington

Amazon is one of the largest technology companies in the world, with businesses spanning e-commerce, cloud computing, devices, media, and more. While Amazon runs its own payment infrastructure at its core, Stripe shows up across several of its subsidiary and acquired businesses.

Ring, Amazon's home security camera company, runs its checkout on Stripe. When I checked out an item, the Stripe session data confirmed "Ring LLC" as a live Stripe merchant, with card and Amazon Pay as the active payment methods and Apple Pay enabled.

Wondery, Amazon's podcast network, also uses Stripe for its Wondery+ premium subscription service. eero, the mesh WiFi brand, uses Stripe alongside NetSuite for order-to-cash and subscription billing. RBKS, the division that houses Ring, Blink, and Amazon Key, also has Stripe embedded in its e-commerce and financial operations alongside Shopify.

In each case, Stripe appears in businesses Amazon acquired rather than built itself. Amazon's own retail and payments infrastructure runs on Amazon Pay. The subsidiaries it bought came with Stripe already embedded, or chose it after acquisition for its developer-friendly APIs, and Amazon has left it in place.

Shopify

Commerce Platform — Ottawa, Canada

Shopify is one of the world's largest commerce platforms, powering millions of merchants across 175 countries.

Stripe processes payments on Shopify's own website. When I tried to pay for a Shopify plan, the session data confirmed "Shopify Inc." as a live Stripe merchant, with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all enabled. Every time a merchant signs up for a Shopify plan (ie Shopify Plus) or pays a subscription bill, that transaction runs through Stripe.

The relationship between the two companies goes further than that. Stripe is one of Shopify's core payments partners, listed alongside PayPal and Affirm as a strategic payment partnership that powers global scale and innovation within Shopify Payments. Account integrity and support teams also use the Stripe Dashboard as a day-to-day internal tool for managing merchant accounts and resolving issues.

DoorDash

Food Delivery & Logistics — San Francisco, California

DoorDash is the largest food delivery platform in the United States, operating across the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan, with Wolt handling its international markets across Europe and Asia.

Stripe powers the checkout every time a customer places an order on DoorDash. The session data confirmed Stripe is live in the consumer checkout stack, with Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Apple Pay Later all enabled as payment methods.

The relationship goes deeper than checkout. DoorDash's payment operations team works directly with Stripe as an external partner to manage merchant payment flows and reconciliation. Fraud investigators use Stripe as a day-to-day tool alongside Braintree for transaction review. And on the Wolt side, the Core Payments team facilitates active business and technical discussions with Stripe as one of its global payment providers across 30 countries.

---

Atlassian

Enterprise Software — Sydney, Australia

Atlassian makes Jira, Confluence, Trello, and Loom, with over 300,000 customers globally including 80% of the Fortune 500.

When I tried to subscribe to a paid plan, the session data confirmed Atlassian Pty Ltd as a live Stripe merchant, with card and US bank account (ACH) as the active payment methods. PayPal is also offered as a custom payment method alongside card. Apple and Google Pay are both disabled, suggesting Atlassian has made deliberate choices to keep the checkout focused on card and bank transfer for its B2B customer base.

Stripe runs deeper than just checkout. Trello's billing platform integrates directly with Stripe alongside NetSuite, Xero, and Avalara. Atlassian's payments infrastructure has built configurations and integrations with Stripe as one of its core payment gateways, sitting alongside WorldPay and PayPal.

---

Wayfair

Home Goods Retail — Boston, Massachusetts

Wayfair is one of the world's largest online home goods retailers, with over 10 million products across furniture, décor, and home improvement.

Stripe is embedded in Wayfair's checkout. When I checked out an item, the checkout data explicitly labels their credit card entry component "New Credit Card - Stripe," confirming Stripe is the payment processor behind card entry on the site. Stripe also appears alongside Klarna, Barclays, Worldpay, and PayPal as one of the payment processors Wayfair's accounts receivable team actively liaises with on customer deposits and settlements across their European markets.

Quest Diagnostics

Medical Diagnostics — Secaucus, New Jersey

Quest Diagnostics is the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services, serving one in three adult Americans annually. Its consumer subsidiary, questhealth.com, lets people order lab tests directly online without a doctor's visit.

When I checked out on questhealth.com, the session data confirmed Quest Diagnostics Inc as a live Stripe merchant. The payment setup reflects the nature of the business well: card and Apple Pay are active, and both Klarna and Affirm are enabled as buy-now-pay-later options, which makes a lot of sense when a single lab panel can run into the hundreds of dollars. Google Pay and Stripe Link are both off.

What's also interesting is that Stripe doesn't just sit at checkout here. The questhealth.com operations team pulls reports directly from Stripe alongside Salesforce and Quanum to track and measure the health of the business day to day.

---

Morningstar

Investment Research — Chicago, Illinois

Morningstar is one of the world's leading investment research companies, providing data, analysis, and tools to individual investors, financial advisors, and asset managers across 32 countries.

When I tried to subscribe to Morningstar Investor, the session data confirmed Morningstar, Inc. as a live Stripe merchant. Stripe Link is fully enabled here, with both Google Pay and card on file available at checkout. What's notable is that Stripe isn't just handling payments; it's one of the two platforms Morningstar's entire subscription management system is built on, sitting alongside Salesforce. Analysts across the company pull Stripe data directly alongside Google and AWS to track subscriber growth, revenue forecasting, and retention.

The Stripe footprint runs even deeper through PitchBook, Morningstar's financial data subsidiary. PitchBook has Stripe embedded in its quote-to-cash and payment collection infrastructure, integrated with Oracle, Salesforce, Sidetrade, Informatica, and Snowflake, with dedicated engineering roles owning the Stripe integration day to day.

---

Aldi

Grocery Retail — Batavia, Illinois

Aldi is one of the largest discount grocery chains in the world, with over 2,300 stores across the United States alone.

Stripe powers checkout on aldi.us. When a customer goes to pay, the site makes a live API call to retrieve a Stripe publishable key before processing the transaction, confirming Stripe is the payment infrastructure behind their US e-commerce checkout.

---

Hertz

Car Rental — Estero, Florida

Hertz is one of the world's largest car rental companies, operating the Hertz, Dollar, and Thrifty brands across approximately 9,700 locations worldwide.

I was able to confirm they use Stripe during checkout. The session data identifies the merchant account as Hertz with card and Apple Pay enabled. Google Pay is deliberately disabled. Stripe Link, the one-click checkout, is also turned off for Hertz customers. Beyond checkout, Stripe is a named platform in Hertz's global payment infrastructure, sitting alongside ACI and other payment systems the company runs across all channels.

---

Capital One

Financial Services — McLean, Virginia

Capital One is one of the largest banks in the United States, with over 100 million customer accounts across credit cards, banking, and auto finance.

The relationship with Stripe runs in an interesting direction. Capital One explicitly names Stripe as one of its strategic technology partners, alongside Walmart and Microsoft. Capital One supports Stripe's integration of Capital One's APIs on their DevExchange developer platform, meaning Stripe has embedded Capital One's financial data and card capabilities directly into its own product, with Capital One engineers managing and supporting that integration day to day.

Lloyds Banking Group

Financial Services · Cardnet

Lloyds Banking Group is one of the biggest banks in the United Kingdom. Through a business called Cardnet, they help shops, restaurants, and other merchants accept card payments.

Here's the interesting part: Lloyds uses Stripe to actually run Cardnet's customer service. The Stripe dashboard is where Lloyds staff start their day and do their work, not a separate tool off to the side.

When a merchant needs something, like a change to their account or help with an issue, the request shows up in the Stripe dashboard. A Lloyds employee picks it up there, completes the action inside Stripe, and closes it out.

Complaints work the same way. A merchant files a complaint, it lands in the Stripe dashboard, and Lloyds takes it from there. They figure out whether the complaint is theirs to solve or Stripe's, then handle the investigation and the response on their side.

Because UK banks have strict deadlines for resolving complaints, Lloyds had to build a careful handoff with Stripe. Both sides agreed on how fast things need to move, how to pass cases back and forth, and how to escalate when a deadline is at risk.

The result is that Stripe is woven into how a regulated UK bank serves its merchants. The merchant just talks to Cardnet, but behind the scenes, Lloyds' staff are running the whole operation through Stripe.

We dug into our own data to find which small to mid-size companies are using Stripe in production. Here are real-world examples of how they use it.

Vercel

Software - San Francisco, California

Vercel is a cloud platform for deploying and hosting web applications, used by developers and teams worldwide to ship frontend projects.

Vercel uses Stripe's embedded payment form to handle billing for their Pro plan. The checkout is built with React Stripe.js and loads directly inside the Vercel dashboard, so customers enter payment details without leaving the site. Stripe Link is also enabled, which lets returning customers check out with a single click using payment details they've saved with Stripe before.

What's interesting is how simple the setup is given how complex Vercel's pricing actually is. Their Pro plan has credit-based billing, usage overages, multiple add-ons, and team seat pricing - a lot of moving parts. But the Stripe integration itself is minimal: it just saves your card details, and Vercel's own systems handle the rest - calculating what you owe, applying credits, and charging your card in the background each month. Stripe is essentially just the card vault here, not the billing engine.

Pryor Learning

Education - Overland Park, Kansas

Pryor Learning is a professional training company offering online courses, seminars, and corporate training across business, HR, technology, and other topics.

Pryor uses Stripe's card element with Stripe Link, Google Pay, and hCaptcha running silently in the background. Apple Pay is not active - it shows as unverified on their domain.

What sets them apart from a straightforward Stripe setup is that their account is configured as a Connect platform. This is Stripe's product for businesses that need to route or split payments between multiple parties - rather than all payments going into one account, Stripe Connect lets them pass money through to external trainers, partners, or resellers. For a company that sells third-party-led seminars and corporate training programs, that's a natural fit.

---

Hugging Face

Software - New York, New York

Hugging Face is an AI platform where developers and researchers share models, datasets, and applications. They offer Pro ($9/month), Team ($20/user/month), and Enterprise ($50/user/month) plans.

Hugging Face uses Stripe's embedded payment form for their paid plans - card only, with Apple Pay and Google Pay also available. Like Vercel, they save the card and charge it in the background each month rather than processing payment immediately at checkout.

Unlike Vercel, their pricing is straightforward flat rates with no usage complexity, so the simple Stripe setup is a natural fit. Stripe Link is in the mix technically but not switched on for the checkout - customers don't get the one-click option here.

---

Railway

Software - San Francisco, California

Railway is a cloud hosting platform that lets developers deploy applications without managing servers, used by individuals and small teams for quick, low-friction deployments.

Railway uses Stripe's card element for payment collection - the classic single card input field, rather than the newer Payment Element that Vercel and Hugging Face use. Stripe Link is enabled here too, and Google Pay is available as a one-click option. Apple Pay is not enabled on their domain.

Their checkout also runs hCaptcha - a bot challenge that runs silently in the background before the payment form loads. This is Railway's own addition on top of Stripe, not something Stripe provides.

---

Docker

Software - Palo Alto, California

Docker makes tools for packaging and running software in containers, used by developers and engineering teams worldwide.

Docker uses Stripe's card element for payments, with hCaptcha running silently in the background - the same combination as Railway. Stripe Link is also active and working here. When a returning Link user hits the checkout, Stripe recognizes them and shows their saved payment methods so they can pay without re-entering their card details.

---

Reformation

Retail - Los Angeles, California

Reformation is a sustainable fashion brand selling clothing and accessories online and in stores across the US, UK, and Canada.

Reformation uses Stripe's card element with Stripe Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all active. They also have Apple Pay Later enabled, which lets customers split a purchase into installments through Apple rather than paying in full upfront. PayPal appears as the express checkout option at the top of the page, so they're running both PayPal and Stripe side by side rather than going exclusively through either.

One thing that stands out: Stripe has purchase protection switched on for Reformation's orders. When a customer pays through Stripe Link, Stripe will cover them if the order never arrives, shows up damaged, or turns out to be significantly different from what was advertised - and the merchant doesn't fix it. It's similar to the buyer protection you get with PayPal or certain credit cards. None of the other companies in this list have it enabled.

---

Hanna Andersson

Retail - Portland, Oregon

Hanna Andersson is a children's clothing brand known for colorful, durable basics sold online and through their own stores.

Hanna Andersson uses Stripe's Payment Element with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Afterpay all available at checkout. Afterpay is integrated directly through Stripe rather than as a separate plugin - it appears in the same payment form alongside the other options. PayPal is also available as an additional express checkout option.

One detail worth noting: their checkout authorizes the card at the time of purchase but doesn't actually charge it until the order ships. This is standard practice in retail - it means customers aren't billed for something until it's on its way, and it avoids complications if an item turns out to be out of stock.

---

Cursor

Software - San Francisco, California

Cursor is an AI code editor made by Anysphere, Inc., with Pro and Pro+ plans at $20 and $60 per month.

Cursor uses Stripe for subscription billing. Every user - including free ones - gets a Stripe customer record created for them in the background, so upgrading is instant with no friction. Stripe also manages their 7-day free trial, handling the timer and the automatic charge when the trial ends.

What makes Cursor interesting in this context is that Stripe's involvement goes deeper than payments. Anysphere was incorporated in Delaware in January 2022 using Stripe Atlas - a Stripe service that handles the whole company formation process, including the Delaware incorporation, a bank account, and a Stripe account, all in one flow. So Stripe didn't just process their first payment - it helped create the company that would go on to build one of the most talked-about AI products of the last few years.

---

Friendli.ai

Software - Seoul, South Korea

Friendli.ai is an AI inference platform that helps companies run large language models faster and more cost-efficiently.

Friendli.ai uses Stripe for card payments only - Apple Pay and Google Pay are both switched off, and there's no Link or wallets of any kind. Their customers are engineering teams and businesses, not individual consumers, so the streamlined card-only checkout fits. Apple Pay is listed as unverified on their domain, suggesting it was never set up rather than deliberately disabled.

---

Cricut

Consumer Electronics - South Jordan, Utah

Cricut makes cutting machines and design tools for crafters, sold directly through their own store along with accessories and materials.

Cricut has the most payment options of any company in this file - card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, PayPal, and Affirm all available at checkout. PayPal and Affirm are connected through Stripe rather than as separate integrations, meaning Stripe handles the checkout flow for all of them in one place. Klarna is fully configured with a dedicated merchant account.

Their Stripe integration is built on top of Salesforce Commerce Cloud - the URL of their Stripe JavaScript file reveals the underlying platform. It's a common setup for larger retailers: a heavyweight ecommerce platform handling the store, with Stripe powering the payments layer inside it.

---

Rork

Software - San Francisco, California

Rork is an AI app builder that generates iOS, Android, and web apps from prompts, with Pro ($20/month) and Max ($200/month) plans.

Rork uses Stripe's hosted checkout page - when a user clicks upgrade, they're sent to a checkout.stripe.com URL rather than an embedded form on the site. It's the simplest way to integrate Stripe, and Stripe Link activates automatically for returning users. The checkout also checks for existing subscriptions before loading, so repeat visitors don't accidentally double-subscribe.

Like Cursor, Rork used Stripe Atlas to incorporate. Their parent company RORK, INC. was filed in Delaware on February 6, 2025 - less than two months before this was written - using the same LegalInc registered agent that Anysphere (Cursor's parent) used. Two AI developer tools, both fresh Delaware corporations, both started with Stripe.

Urban Outfitters

Retail / Apparel - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Urban Outfitters is a global lifestyle retailer operating UO, Anthropologie, Free People, and several other brands, selling clothing, accessories, and home goods through both physical stores and e-commerce. Their checkout handles high transaction volumes across a wide mix of payment methods including cards, digital wallets, and buy-now-pay-later.

Stripe is Urban Outfitters' primary payment gateway, handling credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Klarna, Affirm, and Stripe Link, all routed through Stripe rather than separate direct integrations. Stripe Link is enabled, giving returning Stripe users a one-click checkout experience. Klarna and Affirm both run natively through Stripe's BNPL partnerships, meaning UO doesn't need to maintain separate contracts with each provider. Afterpay is the notable exception, running through its own gateway, likely a pre-existing direct integration that predates UO's Stripe consolidation. PayPal runs separately through PXP Financial. The pattern is classic Stripe consolidation: one integration covering most payment methods, with a couple of legacy carve-outs running in parallel.
